Question

DNA sequence for the non-template strand: Write out the DNA sequence for the template strand. Label the 5' and 3' ends. Write out the mRNA sequence. Label the 5 and 3' ends. 5-CIGACTCCTGAGGAGAAGTCT-3 Write out the amino acid sequence using the codon table, and label the N and C termini. (HINT: use the first 3 nucleotides of the mRNA for the first codon-there is no start codon because this sequence in is from the middle of the gene.) 2. Now examine the sequence for the non-template strand of Jason's hemoglobin gene: 5-CT G ACTCCTGTGGAGAAGT C T-3' Write out the DNA sequence for the template strand. Label the 5' and 3' ends. Write out the mRNA sequence. Label the 5' and 3' ends. Write out the amino acid sequence using the codon table, and label the N and C termini. (HINT: use the first 3 nucleotides of the mRNA for the first codon-there is no start codon because this sequence in is from the middle of the gene.)
